About Jessica

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with changes in life, addiction concerns, grief, and self-esteem challenges. Jessica has ten years of clinical experience and works in a direct, respectful manner that aims to make therapy feel accessible and practical.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Jessica adapts conversations to each person and focuses on concrete steps that can help day-to-day functioning. She listens for what matters most to the individual and builds a plan that reflects those priorities.

Jessica draws on several therapeutic approaches depending on the person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s experience, cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavioral patterns, and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas also appear when they fit the goals.

Sessions aim to identify manageable changes and practice new ways of coping. Jessica often helps people break problems into small, testable steps and develop skills for handling stress, cravings, sleep disruption, or work strain. She frames progress as steady work rather than quick fixes.

People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching process and schedule a session. Jessica emphasizes respect and empathy and supports clients through practical problem solving and clearer communication skills.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding a person’s perspective and building sessions around their priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides treatment that fits their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. That makes CBT useful for worries, sleep problems, and stress-related struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) introduces skills for managing intense emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping, which can help with anger, mood swings, or burnout.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test what methods feel most useful and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills to practice and which goals to prioritize.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools like guided mindfulness exercises and homework tasks between meetings, which supports steady progress without requiring a large time commitment.
